    The Southern California Telephone Company sign is the actual "evil twin" of the PTT sign. This type of sign, with the '08 bell and the word "TELEPHONE" underneath is uncommon. PAY STATION, BOOTH, and PUBLIC TELEPHONE are more common but these are the only two that I know of that use this design. Note that the flange orientation is opposite on each sign.
